3 Claims. (Cl. ill-51) The invention relates to a pasting machine andsuitable manner. Located in this frame A, prefermore especially to thattype of machine for the ably at one side of the median thereof, is apaste pasting together of materials, such for instance container or wellit, this being f a y pp d as footwear bands and soles or other articlesof form and open at its top, while arranged trans- 5 similar nature. TheVamps or soles, which are of versely of the container or well is a,paste feed 5 cloth, leather or imitation of leather, are fed into roller!3 having its axle itsuitably journaled and the machine from a movingtable, where they are extended bey n the pp Side pieces I Q of thepicked up by a paste roll for delivering paste frame. t one side of theroller i3 is a movable thereto and subsequently stripped from the pastetable or bed B, while at the opposite .side is a roll, whence they arepassed along to a conveyor ave g y r these being hereinafter 10convenient to operators at either side thereof, f y described.

Each size andincludes spaced parallel side pieces it bearing is susceptible ofadjustment through a joined with vertical uprights or legs ii and setscrew it fitted within said upright 39 and. also transversely joinedwith each other in any the purpose of the roll 36 is to advance material55 over the roller l3, and such material may be slipper or shoe bands Mwhich are placed upon the table B and carried thereby in the directionof the roller i3, whence each is picked up by the roll 36 and conveyedacross such roller it, so that the latter may apply paste to the face ofthe band at its contact side with the roller it, the paste 35 beingdelivered to the roller 13 from the container or well l2, as should beapparent.

At the pick-up side of the roller 53 is arranged a scraper bladeadjustable by a device 43 manually controlled, the blade @2 being forthe purpose of relieving excess paste from the roller I3 during thepick-up of the paste thereby, while at the other side of the roller 53is a stripper blade 44 for stripping the work M from the roller [3subsequent to the application of paste thereto by said roller and thisstripper blade directs the Work onto the conveyor C, whence theoperators on either or both sides of this conveyor will apply linings tothe work, thereby completing the operation of the machine.

The roll 35, through the pulley 45 and belt 35, has driven connectionwith the axle Hi, the wires or spikes of this roll 365 functioning aspickers for action upon the work t! to carry it across the roller I3during the paste applying activity of said roller.

The roll 36 can be termed a picker roll and the function thereof is tohold the material evenly onto paste roller l3 and such roll 35 can beretarded in speed as well as advanced to any degree desired to allow thepaste to be applied to the material by the paste roller l3 in suchquantities as may be desired and thus providing the same effect as thematerial being held down on top of paste roll uninovable until saidpaste roll has worked into the material the desired amount of pastenecessary for the Work used, or, in other Words, this picker roll notmoving at the same speed to conform with the paste roller allows thepaste to be brushed into the material to the extent necessary for saidmaterial.

What is claimed is: g

l. A machine of the character described comprising a frame, endlessmovable belts supported in the frame in spaced relation to each otherand disposed for travel in a longitudinal direction, one of the beltsbeing in a plane elevated with respect to the plane of the other belt, apaste container arranged beneath the belts and bridging the spacetherebetween, a paste applying roller occupying a portion of the spacebetween the belts and receiving paste from said container for theapplication of paste to a piece of work when passing from the higherbelt to the lower belt, a scraper blade acting upon the said roller atthat side approached by the work, a stripper blade coacting with theroller at the side thereof from which the work is delivered anddirecting said work onto the lowermost belt, and a picker roll arrangeddirectly above the paste applying roller and having picker fingersentirely about the same for engagement with the work when upon the pasteapplying roller.

2. A machine of the character described comprising a frame, endlessmovable belts supported in the frame in spaced relation to each otherand disposed for travel in a longitudinal direction, one of the beltsbeing in a plane elevated with respect to the plane of the other belt, apaste container arranged beneath the belts and bridging the spacetherebetween, a paste applying roller occupying a portion of the spacebetween the bolts and receiving paste from said container for theapplication of paste to a piece of work when passing from the higherbelt to the lower belt, a scraper blade acting upon the said roller atthat side approached by the work, a stripper blade coasting with theroller at the side thereof which the work is delivered and directingsaid work onto the lowermost belt, a picker roll arranged directly abovethe paste applying roller and having picker fingers entirely about thesame for engagement with the work v hen upon the paste applying roller,and means upon the picker roll to vary the contact thereof with thework.

3. A machine of the character described comprising a frame, endlessmovable belts supported :I n the frame in spaced relation to each otherand disposed for travel in a longitudinal direction, one of the beltsbeing in a plane elevated with respect to t e plane of the other belt, apaste coniainer beneath the belts and bridging the space thereoetween, apaste applying roller occupying a portion of the space between the beltsand receiving paste from container for the application of paste to apiece of work when passing from the higher belt to the lower belt, ascraper blade acting upon the said roller at that side approached by thework, a stripper blade coacting with the roller at the side thereof fromwhich the Work is delivered and directing said work onto the lowermostbelt, a picker roll arran ed directly above the paste applying rollerand having picker fingers entirely about the 7 same for engagement withthe work when upon the paste applying roller, means acting upon thepicker roll to vary the contact thereof with the work, and an endlessbelt-like agitator arranged within the container to have a portionadjacent to said paste applyirr roller.
